Key Stage Two

Children in Year 6 are also assessed on their knowledge and understanding of the curriculum.

The results of the SATs (tests) are reported using a scaled score, where a score of 100 represents the expected standard. The highest possible score is 120 and the lowest is 80.

Children are awarded one of the following Teacher Assessment judgements in writing:

Expected Standard - Working at the expected standard for their age.

Greater Depth - Working at greater depth within the expected standard with a strong understanding of the curriculum.

In addition to these measures and in line with requirements, we have reported the percentage of children achieving a High Standard. Children with a scaled score of 110 and above are included in this group.

Year 6 pupils were assessed in reading, writing, grammar, punctuation and spelling, mathematics and science. For further information, please see the leaflet Information for parents KS2 from the Standards and Testing Agency.
